Title 24 of the California Buildings Standards Code (which took effect January 1, 2020) requires that all HVAC systems, whether a large air handler in an office building or a small fan coil in a hotel room, will require MERV 13 filters. Previously the requirement was MERV 8 filtration.
Commercial office buildings, high-rise residential, and hotel buildings using filtration systems below Merv 13 should immediately upgrade to maintain compliance with the new regulations.

Media
- 100% synthetic media resists moisture, mold, and damage
- Maintains MERV 13 performance in a full ASHRAE 52.2-2012 independent test
- Meets minimum efficiency criteria required by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)Durable, moisture-resistant 100% synthetic media
|
Construction:
- Heavy duty, moisture-resistant beverage board frame
- Two-piece die-cut frame bonded to each other
provide double-wall thickness around outer edge
- Die cut pattern provides 50% more contact points
between media pack and frame
- Integral die-cut cross members provide strength and
rigidity
- Water repellent adhesive used to bond frame with
media pack
- Rust-resistant, expanded metal support grid made of
galvanized steel
- 100% water repellent, high-strength adhesive coats
entire interior of frame
- Media pack sealed inside frame and pleat tips bonded
to diagonal support members
|
Pleat Consistency:
Consistent pleat shape produces optimum performance by providing lower resistance, full depth dust
loading, and longer service life in the field. Purolator uses sophisticated production control techniques to
ensure consistent pleat count, height, shape, and spacing for the Puro-green 13 filter.
|
Durability:
The Puro-green 13's heavy duty beverage board frame is made using moisture-resistant, sturdy frame material that stands up to rough handling and difficult service conditions. As such, expect a long service life in
the field. Because of moisture-resistant media and construction, the pleats hold together even when wet,
preventing delaminating, excessive buckling, collapsing, racking, warping, and bending. Additionally, the
double-walled thickness around the outer edge and rust-resistant galvanized steel frame help maintain
pleat shape and prevent fluttering during operation.

Value-Added Summary
- Provides points toward LEED certification1
- May qualify as a sustainable component for a LEED/Green Building Initiative
- Synthetic media does not support microbial growth
- 2" depth with MERV 13 efficiency makes installation easy and user-friendly - no need to retrofit existing
equipment
- Low initial resistance promotes low energy consumption
- Consistent pleat shape maximizes overall performance and service life of the filter
|
Applications
The Puro-green 13 can be used in almost any building where better indoor air quality is desired such as
existing commercial properties, universities, school systems and government institutions.
